Kubernetes for Developers (LFD259) Course + Exam

Kubernetes for Developers (LFD259) is a practical, developer-focused course designed to equip software engineers with the skills needed to build, deploy, secure, and troubleshoot containerized applications in Kubernetes environments. Beginning with a review of Kubernetes architecture, learners dive into designing and building applications using Kubernetes-native tools and practices.

The course covers essential developer workflows, including deployment configurations, exposing services, managing application security, and resolving common issues in production. Ideal for developers transitioning to cloud-native stacks or integrating DevOps practices, LFD259 offers the hands-on experience needed to confidently develop and operate applications in Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is a high-velocity open source orchestration tool to deploy, scale, and update containerized applications. This course will teach you how to containerize, host, deploy, and configure an application in a multi-node cluster.

This course, along with real-world experience and study, will provide the skills and knowledge also tested by the Linux Foundation’s Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam.
